Astronomers have spotted a planet 13 times the size of Jupiter orbiting a star 2.5 times the mass of the Sun 170 light years away from Earth. A picture of the giant planet was obtained, using a telescope on the top of a mountain in Hawaii. Scientists hope the discovery will shed light on planet formation. By now, more than 800 planets have been discovered outside the solar system, but only a few of them have been photographed because the bright light emitted by stars outshines the orbiting planets.
